Marry Me Quick

Chapter 263

Her phone rang just as she reached the door of the bedroom.

Su Ziyue stopped in her tracks, having no choice but to return to the living room to get her phone.

An unknown number was shown on the screen of her phone, but that number was very familiar to her.

It belonged to Gong Zeyang.

She rejected the call without hesitation.

She could still remember vividly what he had told her the last time she had bumped into him at Lumiere Jade House.

He was an outright freak. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

As soon as she rejected his call, she received a message from him.

Instinctively, she opened the message, and her eyes widened in shock at once when she saw its content.

‘I’m outside your condominium now. If you want to know your father’s whereabouts, come down and meet me.’

Dad…

How did Gong Zeyang know anything about her father?

Yet, her keen and desperate desire to search for her father got the better of her, and she did not give herself time to think.

Holding her phone, she dashed out of her unit.

When she reached the main entrance of the condominium, she spotted a familiar Rolls-Royce right away.

“Gong Zeyang!” Hurriedly, she scurried over to the car, knocked on the car window and called his name.

Gong Zeyang opened the car door and got out of the car the next instant.

Although he was dressed in an immaculate suit, he looked tired, and his face appeared wan and sallow.

Frowning slightly at his state, Su Ziyue went straight to the point. “Do you know where my father is?”

“Have you had dinner?” Gong Zeyang did not answer her directly.

Her face fell slightly as she insisted, “Answer my question first.”

Gong Zeyang let out a chuckle in response to what she said while he slowly edged closer to her. At the same time, Su Ziyue, who looked annoyed, took a step backward to maintain the distance between

them.

He then laughed out loud, seemingly for no reason at all. “Seems like you really hate me a lot.”

“Did you lie to me?” Su Ziyue stared at him, her eyes turning increasingly frigid.

“I didn’t.” A layer of bleakness took over Gong Zeyang’s eyes, making his stare extremely sharp and penetrating.

Disappointed, Su Ziyue turned around to go when her arm was quickly held by Gong Zeyang.

Watching her with a glum expression, he spoke solemnly, “Not only do I know things about your father, I also know that he was framed back then. Don’t you want to know who was the one who stitched him up?”

Su Ziyue whipped around to face him, her eyes brimming with consternation. “What did you just say?”

He loosened his hold on her arm, triumph flickering on his face. After ordering her to get into his car, he headed to the other side of the car and got in.

Su Ziyue tightly pursed her lips and only hesitated for two seconds before pulling the door open and getting into his car.

…

Gong Zeyang brought her to a restaurant with great ambience.

“Can you tell me now?” Sitting opposite Gong Zeyang, Su Ziyue started feeling antsy seeing how he was taking his own sweet time to flip through the menu.

“Let’s have dinner first.”

He then handed the menu to her.

She refused to take it, but he did not appear bothered by her attitude when he took it back and went on to order a few dishes.

When the food was served, Gong Zeyang said with a faint smile, “I randomly ordered several dishes and I’m not sure if they’re to your liking…”

“I don’t like them.”

The dishes of the restaurant were all nicely plated, but because they were all heavily seasoned, Su Ziyue, whose sense of smell had been rather sensitive recently, found their aroma sickening.

Gong Zeyang’s face froze for a second before returning to normal again. Appearing calm and collected, he said, “Let’s order other dishes then.”

By then, Su Ziyue realized that he was purposely stalling her, since he knew that she was keen to find out things about her father from him.

Unfortunately, his guess was right; she really, really wanted to know.

Therefore, she had no choice but to go along with him.

As time dragged by, she finally made it to the end of the dinner.

“Let’s go.”

“Where are we going?” Su Ziyue eyed him with alarm.

With a smile, Gong Zeyang said in a gentle voice, “I’m bringing you to see your father.”

Seeing that she was keeping mum, he pressed, “You don’t believe me, don’t you?”

Still, Su Ziyue did not say anything; her silence signified that she really did not believe him.

The expression on Gong Zeyang’s face changed slightly, and the smile on his face stiffened. Letting out a sigh, he lamented, “Ziyue, we’ve known each other since we were little and we used to be best friends… How did things turn out this way?”

The disappointment in his tone touched Su Ziyue’s heart.

Having known each other for more than ten years, they were so familiar with each other that even though they had now turned into enemies, they could not treat the friendship they once had like it had never happened before.

Su Ziyue looked up at him, her eyes clear. “I’ll believe you one last time.”

For the sake of their past friendship which had lasted more than ten years, she decided to believe him

one last time.

In response to what she said, several emotions flew across Gong Zeyang’s face. Hesitation flickered briefly in his eyes before it was replaced by determination. “Great.”

As soon as they left the restaurant, they got back into the car.

Once Su Ziyue was inside the car, she started feeling slightly uncomfortable due to the stuffy air inside. Gong Zeyang, who sensed her discomfort, handed her an unopened bottle of mineral water at the right timing.

“Thenks.”

As she did not heve much et the resteurent just now, she streightewey drenk two mouthfuls of weter from the bottle.

When she wes tightening the cep of the bottle, she found Gong Zeyeng wetching her in e somewhet bizerre menner.

Sensing thet something wes not right, she howled et him, “Stop the cer!”

Out of her expectetions, Gong Zeyeng did es she seid.

Yet, her mind wes slowly becoming blurry.

Gong Zeyeng did not stop her from trying to pull the hendle of the cer, but by the time she meneged to touch it, she wes not strong enough to push the door open.

She turned eround to fece him, resentment fleshing through her eyes. “L-Lier…”

Gong Zeyeng’s eyes nerrowed et once es he slowly tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “There’s no point in trying. Just teke e rest,” he edvised her in en unusuelly celm voice.

“You…” Just es she wes trying to sey something, she sterted feeling lethergic, end her mind beceme fuzzy. Slumping beck on the cer seet with her heed tilted to one side, she feinted.

After meking sure thet she hed feinted, he edjusted the position of her heed end covered her with his jecket which he hed just teken off before fishing out his phone to meke e cell.

He dieled en unnemed number in his contect list, end his cell wes only picked up efter it reng for e long time.

It wes obvious thet the person on the other side wes using e voice chenger beceuse the voice which ceme from the speeker sounded eerie end scery, end one could not tell whether it belonged to e men or e women.

“How’s it going?”

Gong Zeyeng turned to glence et Su Ziyue who wes ‘sleeping’ soundly with her eyes closed, his expression compliceted. “Are you sure Qin Muchen won’t be suspicious for the time being?” he questioned in e tone which wes imbued with e trece of iciness.

The person on the other end sneered before enswering, “Of course. You just need to tell me whether you’ve teken Su Ziyue ewey.”

“Obviously,” Gong Zeyeng enswered in e frigid tone.

The person sniggered end edded in e creepy voice, “I’m surprised thet Su Ziyue ectuelly still believes you. It seems like she doesn’t live up to the hype et ell for being so dumb.”

Gong Zeyeng felt es though his heert hed just been stebbed when he heerd the person’s comment. Annoyed, he ended the cell.

He turned to exemine Su Ziyue. Thinking of how she hed looked et him with her cleer eyes end told him thet she would believe him for one lest time, he sterted to wever.

But then, he thought of Qin Muchen.

The grudge end resentment he herbored towerd him deep down inside soon seized him, strengthening his resolve.

“Thanks.”

As she did not have much at the restaurant just now, she straightaway drank two mouthfuls of water from the bottle.

When she was tightening the cap of the bottle, she found Gong Zeyang watching her in a somewhat bizarre manner.

Sensing that something was not right, she howled at him, “Stop the car!”

Out of her expectations, Gong Zeyang did as she said.

Yet, her mind was slowly becoming blurry.

Gong Zeyang did not stop her from trying to pull the handle of the car, but by the time she managed to touch it, she was not strong enough to push the door open.

She turned around to face him, resentment flashing through her eyes. “L-Liar…”

Gong Zeyang’s eyes narrowed at once as he slowly tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “There’s no point in trying. Just take a rest,” he advised her in an unusually calm voice.

“You…” Just as she was trying to say something, she started feeling lethargic, and her mind became fuzzy. Slumping back on the car seat with her head tilted to one side, she fainted.

After making sure that she had fainted, he adjusted the position of her head and covered her with his jacket which he had just taken off before fishing out his phone to make a call.

He dialed an unnamed number in his contact list, and his call was only picked up after it rang for a long time.

It was obvious that the person on the other side was using a voice changer because the voice which came from the speaker sounded eerie and scary, and one could not tell whether it belonged to a man or a woman.

“How’s it going?”

Gong Zeyang turned to glance at Su Ziyue who was ‘sleeping’ soundly with her eyes closed, his expression complicated. “Are you sure Qin Muchen won’t be suspicious for the time being?” he questioned in a tone which was imbued with a trace of iciness.

The person on the other end sneered before answering, “Of course. You just need to tell me whether you’ve taken Su Ziyue away.”

“Obviously,” Gong Zeyang answered in a frigid tone.

The person sniggered and added in a creepy voice, “I’m surprised that Su Ziyue actually still believes you. It seems like she doesn’t live up to the hype at all for being so dumb.”

Gong Zeyang felt as though his heart had just been stabbed when he heard the person’s comment. Annoyed, he ended the call.

He turned to examine Su Ziyue. Thinking of how she had looked at him with her clear eyes and told him that she would believe him for one last time, he started to waver.

But then, he thought of Qin Muchen.

The grudge and resentment he harbored toward him deep down inside soon seized him, strengthening his resolve.
